It is a very controversial list, fair enough no Nigerian deserve to be on the list but how did all the Algerians and Egyptians make it? No Aubameyang? thats just an abomination and how did Gholahan Salami miss out on the African-based player category, the list is basically a joke to me, they can give Yaya Toure again, for the 5th time
The awards gala will be held on Thursday, 7 January 2016 in Abuja, Nigeria.
